delicious master

Chapter 30
An autumn rain, a cold.

Outside the window, there was loud shouting, and the sound of rainwater beating on the glass and eaves was unusually loud.

Tang Xiaokang got up and sat on the bed, a little dazed.

He didn't know what was going on, but yesterday he dreamed that he was being crushed by a winter melon, and this winter melon was getting bigger and fatter, and finally turned into a ball of winter melon. The huge size and weight weighed on him I couldn't breathe.

After waking up suddenly in the morning, he realized that at some point, the little orange cat Donggua, which he had put on the bedside, had crawled onto his chest and fell asleep.

Only now did Tang Xiaokang realize that the growing winter melon in his dream turned out to be this guy.

Perhaps feeling a little chill, the sleeping wax gourd involuntarily moved towards Tang Xiaokang, looking for a warm and suitable place, and lay down on his stomach.

Tang Xiaokang who got up couldn't help shivering. An autumn rain at night made the temperature of the whole Ningcheng drop by a few points.

Adding an extra piece of clothing to himself, standing on the second floor, watching the rain falling outside the window, Tang Xiaokang frowned.

If the weather is bad, the business will naturally be bad, especially in this cold autumn rain. I don't know how many people will suffer from the wind and cold.

I added an extra layer of blankets to the winter melon who was still sleeping, and went downstairs.

In the back kitchen, he had already prepared enough ginger and brown sugar yesterday. He originally wanted to make a bowl of ginger soup, but with the existence of mutton soup, the effect and significance of this ginger soup is useless.

Simply, Tang Xiaokang directly made a large portion of brown sugar ginger tea as free tea for diners to relieve the cold.

Ginger tea is different from ginger soup. It originated from the empire on which the sun never sets, unlike ginger soup, which belongs to the traditional domestic diet.

It has to be said that people in the country where the sun never sets are full of all kinds of crooked skill points for the skill of making tea. Except for authentic tea, any other tea method has been researched by them, such as adding milk or adding sugar Add orange slices, there are all kinds of weird ways.

Ginger tea is also their favorite drink.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that they can't be blamed for this matter, after all, the root of this whimsical idea of ​​making tea, after all, began to spread from China.

Whether it is ginger tea or adding sugar, these are quite popular methods in the Tang tea era. At that time, they especially liked to add goat oil and goat milk to stew together, which was full of oily smell.

This way of making tea gradually disappeared after the Song Dynasty, and a more elegant clear tea eventually became the mainstream of domestic tea.

However, this skill seems to have been better developed abroad, and even continued to take root and become a historical inheritance in other places.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaokang also felt very understandable. Those people in the empire on which the sun never sets made tea in the same way as soup.

Brown sugar ginger tea is a domestically improved version. It is easy to make and tastes good. It is especially effective in warming up the body.

Slice the bought tender ginger. This is Tang’s own method. The spicy taste of tender ginger is not so strong, and the tea taste will be better after cooking.

Pour the ginger slices into the pot, then put two pieces of rock sugar and pour water to stew.

At this time, Tang Xiaokang began to prepare the mutton soup, and now the ingredients are ready.

Because of the rainy weather, Boss Wu drove his Wuling Hongguang to Dongju in advance, fearing that it would rain again tomorrow, this time Boss Wu directly sent two days' worth of mutton.

Prepare the mutton soup according to the procedure, and on the other side, the ginger tea is almost boiled.

Turn to low heat, cook slowly, remove the ginger slices and discard, Tang Xiaokang pours a whole bag of brown sugar into the pot and stirs.

In fact, it would be better if this step should be stewed slowly in a coal stove. However, in order to protect the air environment, Ningcheng has banned the use of such a relatively polluting tool, and Tang Xiaokang can only use a stove to cook slowly.

Stirring the ginger tea non-stop, a strong smell of ginger hits the face, making people want to sneeze and feel a little bit of warmth at the same time.

At this time, Tang Xiaokang took two pieces of peeled ginger and put them directly into the pot to simmer to maintain the effect of ginger tea.

It was raining heavily, and the owners of the breakfast stalls outside also closed their stalls early and covered their stalls with plastic skins. Many people chose to come to Dongju to warm up.

At the end of October when it rained, it was obviously colder. Many people's faces were pale, and the rain hit their faces, which also took away their remaining temperature.

Walking into the yard and standing at the entrance of the hall, a group of people hesitated whether to go in. They were wearing raincoats, and the rainwater kept dripping down. If they went in, they might stain the ground of others.

Tang Xiaokang couldn't figure it out when he came out of the back kitchen and saw a group of people standing at the door and not coming in.

After seeing the rain on their bodies, he immediately understood the situation and shouted directly at these people.

"Come in quickly, it's not good to suffer from the wind and cold outside."

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that Boss Tang's land will be dirty?"

The vendors were a little embarrassed standing at the door. It would be bad if the floor was so dirty that they had worked so hard to clean it.

"What's the matter, come in, it's okay if the ground is dirty, just drag it for a while."

Talking to the stall owners at the door, Tang Xiaokang turned and walked into the back kitchen.

"I've prepared brown sugar ginger tea. Drink some to warm up your body first. After the rain, the temperature is probably about to plummet. Don't catch a cold and get sick."

After listening to Tang Xiaokang's words, these people also walked in in twos and threes, took the ginger tea handed to them, thanked them, and after taking a sip, a trace of warmth finally appeared in their cold bodies.

“On this rainy day, it’s really freezing to death!”

Someone couldn't help complaining that he was selling sesame seed cakes, and the weather was cold, and the sesame seed cakes couldn't keep the temperature, so today's business was not very good.

"Boss Tang, your ginger tea is really delicious. It's not exciting at all. If it weren't for the strong flavor of ginger, I wouldn't be able to drink ginger tea. I thought it was brown sugar water."

He also drank a sip of the brown sugar ginger tea made by Tang Xiaokang, and immediately someone was amazed.

As expected of Dongju's soup boss, not only the mutton soup is delicious, but even the brown sugar ginger tea that comes with it is very delicious.

To everyone's praise, Tang Xiaokang smiled and said nothing. This formula is the secret researched by the old man, and he is just picking up the wisdom of others, not really any skills.

Serve the prepared mutton soup in bowls. After drinking the somewhat spicy mutton soup, everyone's complexions turned rosy by the way, and many people's foreheads were sweating. Forced out.

"This mutton soup is really delicious in the world. I have been drinking it for four or five days, and I still feel that I am still not satisfied."

They can't stop admiring while eating mutton. As street vendors, they can understand that if something tastes delicious at the beginning, it can only show that it is well cooked, but it can make people feel unforgettable every time they eat it, and even make people eat it every day. , this is real skill and mastery of the palate.

Speaking of this, many people can feel the horror of the owner of Dongju, and at the same time, they are glad that he didn't make breakfast to compete with them for business. Otherwise, they, small vendors, would not have much competitiveness at all.

For a while, how many people's sense of Tang Xiaokang was once again enhanced. This Tang boss is really a good person!
